arXiv:2606. 09117v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Ising machines serve as advanced physical solvers for the Ising model,enabling applications in combinatorial optimization and neural network training,their scalability for large-scale neural networks remains constrained by hardware connectivity limitations and suboptimal training methodologies.

The paper investigates how temperature affects analog deep neural network (DNN) inference, focusing on both stochastic and systematic non‑idealities in analog hardware. Experiments show that temperature‑induced performance loss is mainly driven by systematic errors rather than random noise. The study evaluates various mitigation techniques, finding that noise‑aware training and temperature‑aware calibration—especially hardware‑in‑the‑loop training—best preserve inference accuracy across different thermal conditions.
